What students say about history

The best aspects are the student union and the facilities available. I think it could be improved if we had more books generally available at the library without requiring click and collect, since right now the library feels like a study space but not a real library.

What students say about history

The campus always looks presentable and is easily traversable. In the library, there are plenty of people to help with whatever you need. Uploading assignments, looking back at past lectures and looking at your timetable are all very easy to do. I have been supported quite well academically throughout my first year. There could be a wider range of societies to join, but this is not a significant issue. The student union regularly has events for anyone to take part in. The student accommodation is on campus, and other locations are not far, making it easy to attend lectures and classes.

Best part - helpful and loving staff. no discrimination, nice people all around! Worst aspects - The campus is TOO spread out, and back to back lectures are often arranged in buildings too far apart :(
